ELD Mandate....Any O/O's left the business because of it?

You said a lot of things that are true. People will always say they make x-dollars per week. I reality, it's probably the upper 10 percent that's really doing well. Touching on the Tamarack, i can count the times I've taken a ten there on one hand. I don't like how long it takes to get in and out of the Tamarack. I prefer easy on, easy off spots. The spots I prefer to stop at are farther north in WV, but most of the time I like to push it to Wytheville, VA at minimum if I'm going south

 

E log is here for the simple reason that the mega's wouldn't be able to keep a number do to log violations.
Then they thought they would screw everyone cause they would relay stuff.
SURPRISE!!!!
The simple fact is the overwhelming majority of people coming into trucking aren't qualified for a variety of reasons to drive a truck.
Jerry Moyer is worth over a billion dollars, that's with a B.
Money talks and BS walks. Money might not buy happiness, but it dang sure can buy just about everything else.

My heart burn with the e log thing is now bear is getting REALLY chicken #### about the truck. I mean marker light out?
Cmon?
Air line chaffing?
Really dude?
At the same time the roads are more crowded than ever with total self absorbed units, and bear does nothing about that.

That is wrong.

Fortunately I have the next winning powerball ticket, and will begin construction of Dave's super truck stops, which will be segregated by the way, the asphalt base, artillery range side will be for mega's, refers, and flatbed.
The smooth concrete side with awnings, and golf carts will be for van and tankers.

 

Can you include a strip club and casino at these truck stops? Lol

 

Got to come to Ontario or Quebec for that but you’ll need to set your speed limiter to 65 first

 

Haha no need, I'll be there just few minutes after you are, save me a seat and get the first round of beer. I'll match you

 

Why should we be scrutinized more for running paper RODS..? This was a supposed EXEMPTION for 1999 & older engines. Why even bother having the exemption if they don't want to honor it..? Are the railroad Can haulers in California being heavily scrutinized also? If I'm not mistaken they get 12 hours of drive time a day.. What makes it possible for them to stay SAFE & alert for that extra hour..?

 

I am not saying you should be , but you will be , DOT will automatically assume you are dodging ELD rule to cheat and they will pick on you.

 

Seen a Werner running 71 mph in a 65mph today. In the left lane for 30miles. Maybe it was the long day or my tinfoil hat, but he couldn't pass my old freightliner. But he just kept trying, stayed right there. No I am normally the guy that backs out of it. But Now if your ATA sponsored I will do what I can to impede you. I normally drive slow, not because my truck is slow, just its happy at 61-64. I do not allow anyone it rush me. I drove 35mph the other day on a county highway around home just so I could call out all the sights to crete behind me. IDK if he had a radio, I hear they will "finance one for you". I haven't smiled that much in awhile.

 

LoL!! I love it, just calling out the sights.. I take it that's your Classic in the picture..? Nice looking rig. Hope to have something nice too in the future..

 

What happened to that truckstop in Wyoming?? that was only for owner operators?
No mega trucks allowed.
